The day of our trip, we were collected promptly and driven in comfort to the remote rural villages in the Geres national park. Our guide was Pedro, who had an amazing knowledge and very obvious love of the area and it's flora fauna and people. He was brilliant. Our canyoning expert guide was Carlos, who was equally proficient in his field, and though we were novice, was very patient with us, and relaxed professional and so good at getting all the gear set up, he made it look easy which I know it wasn't. We had such good fun canyoning down the river, and a lovely tour of the local area, seeing the villages and wild ponies, also a delicious hearty meal, made with local produce in a great little restaurant. Highly recommend this tour company. I only wish we were here longer and could go and do some stuff with them. I have no doubt it would be brilliant. Priceless memories. Thanks …

We were able to do everything that we wanted to as well as see some of the most beautiful and interesting spots we didn't even know existed! Pedro was able to answer all of the long list of questions we had from culture, geology, history and everything in between! We also had a wonderful lunch (and goodie bag filled with locally made treats) which is one of the best meals we've had in Portugal. Even my partner's more restrictive dietary requirements were catered for which was a big relief to us! We could never have toured the national park like we did without Pedro's insight and will certainly be asking for another tour when we return!

Even though we were satisfied with the overall experience we felt that the price was way too high for merely two 5 minutes rides, when others were in the air for almost 20 minutes. We understand that weather is a factor and not every ride can last 20 minutes but we are outraged that we didn’t get the pictures we paid for.

Rita took photographs and assured us we would get them by email in a reasonable time.

We sent various emails:
- 1st one on August 24th to merely ask when we would the pictures
- 2nd one on September 30th (we got a reply on October 2nd and Rita told us there was a delay and we would the pictures as soon as possible)
- 3rd one on December 2nd (we got no reply)

Almost 6 months later and we still didn’t get the pictures we paid for.

Overall we are very much dissatisfied with the experience. If we had known we would have booked another tour with more professional guides and we would have gladly paid a bit more to get a better experience.

Pedro truly took us off the beaten path. We drove to our hiking location up rocky roads that we would never have been able to navigate, yet alone find on our own. We crossed into a limited access area that is not opened to the general public into a rocky mountainous land.

Highlights included our delicious picnic lunch (catered to our vegetarian diet) at a local shepherd's shelter; tour of a "wolf trap;" Pedro's passionate description of the geology of the post-glacial landscape; mingling among wild horses; and the cool dip in a waterfall-fed kettle pool at the end of the hot hike. Along the way Pedro also took a slew of photos that were shared with us.

We highly recommend a trip with Keen Tours.

  Several family members were visiting Porto and my sister in law and I wanted to get out of the city, so I booked a Gerês Park tour on Get Your... read more Guide, which subcontracts to Keen Tours. We were picked up in Porto by Pedro. He first asked us what our interests were—I said the Iberian wolf and Allison stated she just wanted to see the park. Pedro obviously knew his way around the park and he organizes the tour based on interest and fitness level of his group. He only does private tours, so these are not mixed with other travelers. We drove to a remote area of the park & hiked up huge rocky escarpements to the shepherds corral. Although, as expected, I did not see a wolf, I saw many wolf tracks in the bog and some scat! The vistas from the mountain area & the corral were simply amazing. We saw NO other people during our hike in this beautiful wilderness. After an invigorating jaunt, we went to a local place for a traditional abundant lunch, even including vino verde. In the afternoon, we had a driving tour of the park stopping to see the Roman milestones and waterfalls. To top off our day, just after sunset, we went to Spain (an unexpected additional country!) to soak in the hot springs under the full moon. There is a bit of driving as Porto is about an hour’s drive from Gerês Park. That’s the only downside, but it was punctuated by friendly conversations with Pedro. Pedro is exceptionally well educated on natural history, politics and the environment. Pedro and his wife Rita, own Keen tours and I can attest that this is a company that any socially conscious traveler can support. Keen Tours was a highlight of our experience in Portugal and I would highly recommend this company (pro tip—schedule directly with Keen Tours for the best value)
